Song Lyrics: Stuck At a Green Light

She's in my soleless shoes
failing to scale the wall I kicked in.
We're out a line in The John
Golden toilets lined down the bar

I watch
you watch
her watch
you.

Wishing you would just watch her
but your eyes are only for smiles

I was her, I was her
but instead I am
instead I am
I am

Backed in the corner with jukebox machines
backsides displayed for me
or center stage on a trampoline
it doesn't matter, you still can't see me

I watch you watch her watch you
wishing you would just watch her
but your eyes are only for smiles
I was her but instead I am

The tears of melted cigarettes
clinging to the granulated cement
a black and white motif
high contrast fondness witness
the thrifted memories housing my grief

I watch you watch her watch you
wishing you would just watch her
but your eyes are only for smiles
I was her but instead I am

forgotten in the storm
trying to reach you
left alone with a car radio
I don't know your sheepish morse code

I watch you watch her watch you
wishing you would just watch her
but your eyes are only for smiles
I was her but instead I am

stuck at a green light
on a high speed route to nowhere
